From October 26, 2025, to March 28, 2026, travelers will have a total of 184 destinations in 68 countries to choose from. Eleven of these destinations are in Germany, 119 are medium-haul destinations, and 54 are long-haul destinations. A total of 81 airlines will operate these routes during the winter season.

Even before its official end on October 25, the summer flight schedule period at Munich Airport is already showing an impressive development. Between March 31 and October 12, the airport recorded a growth of five percent in both passenger numbers and flight movements compared to the previous year.
